Question

This might sound silly but i’m having trouble printing a variable in this code –

var clsuffix = "something";
$("#box").wrap('<div class="boxy" />');

I want to print the clsuffix variable inside the class=” here ”
so it could be like

<div class="boxysomething">

But when i use the variable inside class=””, it comes up as it is (not being treated as variable)

Answer 1

Just concatenate it in. Ultimately, your goal is to build a string consisting of the literal "boxy" and the contents of the variable clsuffix. That is done with "boxy" + clsuffix in JavaScript:

$("#box").wrap('<div class="boxy' + clsuffix + '" />');

If you were just trying to insert the variable into the string (such as you might do in a PHP double-quoted string), it won’t be interpreted by JavaScript:

// Doesn't work in JavaScript:
$("#box").wrap('<div class="boxyclsuffix" />');
